In the episode entitled “Worlds Finest,” Supergirl joins forces with a lightning-fast—and super dreamy—hero, The Flash to take out two villains. Lost and confused after spiraling from his universe and landing in Kara’s, The Flash asks for her help in finding his way back home. Kara agrees on one condition: The super-runner has to help her take down her ultra-competitive co-worker and screeching malefactor Siobhan, aka Silver Banshee, and Supergirl’s old nemesis, Livewire.
CBS promises an episode packed with action and a bit of super-flirting. ‘Worlds Finest’ premieres Monday, March 28 at 8/7c.
Fans are less than two months away from Captain America: Civil War, and you better enjoy Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as it appears that his run as Tony Stark is coming to an end.
Downey spoke to USA Today about a potential fourth Iron Man film.
“I don’t think that’s in the cards, in a way it’s Cap 3 but for me it’s like my little Iron Man 4 and then it’s back to the thing we all recognize. Everything pulls over to the side of the road when the thunder of an Avengers thing comes through because that’s how it is until it changes. If it changes,” said Downey.
Downey does sound like this is the end of the line for him, but there is still the brutal film schedule of Avengers: Infinity War ahead of him. Part 1 and 2 will shoot back-to-back starting this fall, and the expectations are the filming will take nine months.
Avengers: Infinity War – Part I May 4, 2018 Avengers: Infinity War – Part II May 3, 2019
2019 would put Downey at 54-years-old, and if a film came out in 2021, that would put the star at 56 at the time of release.
If this is the end, at least fans will get to enjoy his work the next three out of four years.
Chris Tilly the Entertainment Editor for IGN has been keeping tabs on a potential ‘Bill and Ted’ third adventure, and the editor checked in with Keanu Reeves for the most recent update.
“We’re closer, and we’re not closer. We’re expecting another draft, and hopefully, we’ll get closer. We’re just trying to get the script together. We’re trying to get the story right. We’re working with this studio, so we have a little bit of support, in a sense of like if the material comes through we’ll try and make this picture. We’re really just still trying to get the story right,” said Reeves.
At what point do you let it go? Reeves and Alex Winter are both in their fifties. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure came out in 1989, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey created a franchise in 1991. Here we are 25 years later; the cards are stacked against Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan and Bill S. Preston making a successful comeback. Plus, who would cast to replace George Carlin?!
Better Call Saul will get a 10-episode third season, AMC and Sony Pictures Television announced Tuesday.
“Better Call Saul” is set six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny and hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside and often against Jimmy is “fixer” Mike Erhmantraut, a beloved character first introduced in “Breaking Bad.” The series will track Jimmy’s transformation into a man who puts the criminal in “criminal lawyer.”
The show stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, and Michael McKean. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould serve as showrunners.
“What Vince, Peter, Bob and the entire team have accomplished with ‘Better Call Saul’ is truly rare and remarkable. They have taken one of the most iconic, immersive and fan-obsessive (in the best possible way) shows in television history and created a prequel that stands on its own. Watching Jimmy McGill’s thoughtful, melodic and morally flexible transformation into Saul Goodman is entertaining and delighting millions of fans, whether their starting point was ‘Breaking Bad’ or not. This series has its own feel, pace and sensibility and we can’t wait to see what this incredibly talented group comes up with next in season three,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios.
“It’s been an extraordinary show that lives up to its predecessor. Vince, Peter, Bob and the team are delivering brilliant storytelling, and we’re proud to have AMC as our partner for another well-earned season,” said Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg, presidents of programming and production for Sony Pictures Television.
Better Call Saul was nominated for seven 2015 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Jonathan Banks, and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drams Series for Bob Odenkirk.

Disney and Lucasfilms have taken its time with a search for a young Han Solo, for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Star Wars spin-off. The studios have reportedly auditioned thousands of actors and now the list is down to five names, according to Heat Vison.
Young Han Solo Short-list:
Taron Egerton
Alden Ehrenreich
Jack O’Connell
Blake Jenner
Jack Reynor
According to the report, tests were conducted in London last weekend that involved all those actors. There could also be a few wild cards added to the list due to the high level of secrecy surrounding the casting.
The untitled Star Wars film is scheduled for release in 2018.
Disney officially announced Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.
“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019. It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios.
Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, and later thrilled audiences in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The four films have brought in nearly $2 billion at the global box office.

In this week’s Episode of Supergirl , the titular character gets exposed to red kryptonite. Which doesn’t kill her, it just brings out Kara’s bad side. And in this case, bad is very fun to watch. This season we’ve seen Melissa Benoist play Supergirl as fierce and sweet. We’ve also seen her act like a flustered geek that brings back memories of Christopher Reeve’s Superman. We’ve even gotten to see Benoist play Martian Manhunter posing as Supergirl. Benoist has rocked them all. I was anxious to see how she handled a bad girl.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The episode started with Supergirl being her strong and sweet self. First she stands up for a girl who is being picked on. Then she saves a couple of fireman who are trapped up on a roof. This is where things get interesting though as Supergirl gets exposed to red kryptonite. We still don’t know who planted it, but a good guess is Indigo. (JZ: Update apparently it was Max Lord — I somehow missed that scene…) Supergirl pretty much instantly becomes bad girl Supergirl, saying thoughts that she has been suppressing. She also lets her “inner goddess” out. In one of the best fight scenes of the series, Supergirl easily beats up a powerful alien but then lets him go because she’s bored. Next, she pretty much calls out Hank Henshaw because he could be as strong as she is but hides behind his human disguise. Kara gets underhanded Siobhan fired, paving the way for Siobhan’s next move on the show. Kara hits on Jimmy, big time. She ignores Winn. Then she shows Cat who the most powerful person in National City really is by tossing her off of a building. Alex faces Kara and gives her the old “this isn’t you spiel.” Alex also lets Kara know that she’s been exposed to red kryptonite. Which is one of the glitches in tonight’s episode as we have no idea how the DOA figured this out. Kara then goes on to give Alex a verbal whipping pointing out they aren’t really sisters and she is pretty much nothing without Kara who she is jealous of. All in all, a great moment for the show. One, because it is kind of true. Two, because Benoist and Chyler Leigh really let the emotion out.
Things turn nasty for Supergirl and National City when Cat delivers an on air warning that Supergirl can’t be trusted. Supergirl starts doing what Batman is afraid Superman might do in their upcoming movie. She starts knocking things down and blowing things up with heat ray vision. Lucky for the DOA they now have Maxwell Lord, on their side, this also is never really explained, which is a another flaw. Max has whipped up a weapon that should remove the red kryptonite from Supergirl. He even wishes Alex luck, guess he kind of likes her. But still mirky motivation for him. The DOA goes after Supergirl, yet she proves too much for them, easily knocking them around. Luckily, Hank takes Supergirl’s advice and converts to Martian Manhunter. Manhunter and Supergirl take to the sky. They come crashing down, Manhunter seems to have the advantage but Supergirl still has a lot of fight in her. Plus she can always light him up with heat ray vision since he does not like fire. But Alex gets the drop on Supergirl with Max’s weapon. The bad news is Hank stays in Martain Manhunter form and is captured by the DOA. Another flaw in the episode as Hank had saved the day and could have easily gotten away. It also doesn’t make sense that the DOA would now hold him in a cell.
Supergirl wakes up in the DOA extremely sad at what she did. How she turned on her sister and the city she loves. The only good news is she didn’t kill anybody. Apparently Red Kryptonite brings out the worst in you but you are still you and won’t go against your basic core values. Supergirl and Cat have a heart to heart talk in Cat’s office. Supergirl apologizes for tossing her off a building. Cat tells Supergirl yeah she lost the city’s trust but all is not lost because she can win it back with work. And if there’s one thing Supergirl is good at it’s putting in the work.
This was fun episode with a lot to like. It was fantastic seeing Benoist play Supergirl letting all her pent up frustrations out. There was much truth in the verbal beating she gave Alex. You could feel Kara’s anger about being encouraged to hold back her super-self for a good portion of her life on Earth. She has pent up issues about this that she must deal with now. As much as the Alex and Supergirl scenes clicked the Supergirl and Kat scenes are some of the highlights of the series. Kat grant is a character who could be very unlikeable but Calista Flockhart does an excellent job making her likeable. Not just likeable but also noble as she holds herself and those around her to higher standards. She is an outstanding and surprising character. The other nice thing about this episode was the characters all have to actually live with consequences and work to fix them. Alex and Kara have to deal with the facts that Alex not only killed Astra but she is somewhat jealous of Kara. Kara not only has to win back the confidence of National City back she but also scared Jimmy Olsen off. She must work at gaining his trust again.
Fast Conclusion: Probably the best episode of Supergirl yet with great action, tension and some character growth. We get to see a darker side of Supergirl. Yes this was a red kryptonite induced darker side, but this is still a part of her that she has been dealing with since arriving on Earth.
The next few episodes are going to be interesting!
